I thought it was £250-ish marriage allowance pre-25 and £425-ish over 25?
Per annum, of course.
I remember as well when Officers had to ask their CO's permission to get married. A chap did that at Scampton - when the boss asked him if he was sure, he responded "Well, boss, do you want an invite to the wedding....or the christening?"
I remember when you had to be Sqn Ldr or over 30 to be allowed to have a bottle of alcohol in your room in the OM.... Nothing mentioned about the boot of your car or a disused air radi shelter, of course.
I remember when a 49 year old Specialist Aircrew Sqn Ldr wasn't allowed to have any alcohol in his possession on a Timmy trip to the Malvinas.... But some Turners' oaf could, of course...
